Abstract

Chatter vibration frequently occurs in ball end milling. If the characteristics of the cutting tool system and cutting process are known, chatter stability in ball end milling can be evaluated. Hence, in this paper, a chatter-avoidance strategy based on a regenerative chatter theory is proposed to prevent the occurrence of chatter. This consists of a simulation of chatter stability and cutting condition control. When the characteristics of a vibration system change, this chatter-avoidance strategy cannot cope with it. Therefore, another chatter-avoidance control algorism that changes cutting parameters on a machining center is proposed. This can adapt to the change in the characteristics of the vibration systemduring cutting. The effectiveness of the two chatter-avoidance methods proposed is examined through experiments.
